Excellent value for money. Very comfortable and nice and warm. Loved the birds coming to the balcony to feed with the host providing wild bird seed for them.

Everything worked well except the rangehood doesn't work as it is not flued into the ceiling and the fire alarms kept going off when we cooked.

lovely clean loved the cocketoos

too many rules

The place is spacious, very clean, quiet and exclusively. Many birds visited in the morning. Owner is very thoughtful to have bird food ready for feeding.

We arrived at the property after sunset. it was extremely dark and not easy to spot the property.

property was spacious with comfortable beds, full kitchen with plenty of crockery etc very quiet area , very colourful visitors in a morning (cockatoo and parrots)

driveway was a little narrow, had to pull the car over so each person could extt the car which meant one person was getting out onto grass area or onto the wooden boarder to the lawn which was very uneven and slippery when wet

- Well equipped kitchen. - Fireplace. - Ducted heating. - Quiet surroundings. - Right next to the bush. - Free WiFi, smart TV. - Two toilets (very important!). - The birdlife (Cockatoos, crimson rosellas, currawongs). We liked pretty much everything,

The price for our stay according to Booking.com was just under $600, That's what I expected to pay. But then the host added over $25 in credit card fee. That's a big fee for using your credit card. And on top of that a bond of $300, that I got back some days after the stay. In total an amount of $913.65 to be paid straight up at the time of booking! I'm really not used to that. The price advertised is what you pay, end of story. Maybe you have to pay for one night up front, but I don't remember the last time I ever paid a bond. And then there is a long list of fees that apply if you forget some of your belongings, if you break something, if you leave the house unclean or untidy, etc... That together with the $300 bond made me feel a bit nervous and uncomfortable, even before the holiday started. Maybe they've had bad experiences before, but I'm 61 and treat other people's property like my own, so I was a bit disappointed with that.

The cottage was spacey and comfortable. The heating quickly warmed up the place and it was very cosy to play with all the board games available with the family in the evening. We did not try the fireplace and the bbq but if we go there next time we will try them! Beds were comfortable and waking up in the morning and have the cockatoos coming to greet you at the porch is just amazing!

Nothing really bad that is to be reported. A touch of perfection may have been having a coffee machine instead of filtered coffee pads.

Quiet location 450 meters away from the start of Minni-Ha-Ha Falls walk, trampolin, bird life, central heating, amazing kitchen.

Could not open bathroom and kitchen windows to air the place. Locked.

I loved how close and convenient it was to everywhere. I loved the daily wildlife visits

Nothing

Shiralee's Rest is a very nice place to stay. However I can not recommend it due to the agent, Accommdated, who looks after it. The total cost on Booking.com was $511, but my credit card got charged with $886. $350, a refundable bond, was added to my credit card at time of booking. - 2 weeks beforehand! This bond was only refunded to to me 7 days after my stay. Accommodated had $350 of mine for over 3 weeks. Are they an investment group or accommodation agent????? Furthermore, a 2.9% surcharge was also added to the refundable bond, and not given back. I find this process absolute appalling, particular for a 2 days stay. I do not want to deal with Accommodated ever again and will made a complaint to Booking,com.

Great houses great facilities. Great location. Clean, modern kitchen. Amazing birds close by. Very pretty.

Uncomfortable beds made sleeping hard

Nice, secluded location. comfortable beds.

property needs some love, especially on the outside. too many messages from the agency that manages the place.

near Blue mountain National park and town of Katoomba, good shower, well equipped kitchen

barking dogs in the morning across the street

Beautiful location, great air-con for all year round. Comfortable for a family. Could feed birds of back verandah. Central to everything Blue Mountains.

Only one small thing, no hair-dryer. Had to wash sunscreen off my young children who always get their hair wet, so bed times are tricky as not wanting to put wet hair on pillows. As we were going from place to place, we didn't have our own. Also didn't mention the $300 bond till payment time.

The accommodation had everything we needed for our stay with two small children. The playroom was a great hit with the kids with a variety of toys and books to keep them entertained as well as the trampoline in the front yard. The kitchen, laundry and bathroom were well stocked with supplies that we only had to use a little of our own. The accommodation was clean and spacious for 3 adults and 2 children. My favourite part of our stay was to see the birds perched on the back verandah.

The lack of fans/air conditioning in the bedrooms as the weather was quite hot during our stay. It would have been nice to invite some friends in the area over for a meal or tea.

Everything was as advertised, so no disappointments. Some of the slats from one of the beds had broken, a facilities personnel arrived to fix the bed very promptly.

Nothing.

Very comfortable, spacious, quiet and clean

The beds were a bit too soft for our liking

Great location, close to all attractions. clean and tidy. very homely feel.

Too many instructions and messages from the property managers. Too long. the instructions in the house were sufficient.

Quiet. Loved birdlife

Spiders around outside

Private house in a quiet street. Good size. Nice kitchen. Effective heating

The booking process was not as straight forward as the usual booking.com bookings are. We tried to get in touch with the hosts by phone but that was unsuccessful. Lots of emails about house rules etc. The fees plus the bond were charged quite quickly however the returning of the bond takes 7 days.

Location was excellent

None

The house is very well appointed, especially if you have children. Bonuses like a portable high chair (came in handy for Korean restaurant in Katoomba!), trampoline and extra tea towels and towels were much appreciated. The kitchen is really well equipped and we especially liked that the property has a compost. Very comfortable for 4 adults and a child. Highly highly recommend and would definitely book again.

Central heating. Two toilets. Lots of space. Beautiful bird life .

Need enough new placemats. And that’s about it.

Location excellent. Facilities excellent Electric blanket had been turned on so bed was nice and warm on a very cold night.
